MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2008Outlook 2K3 New computer auto-fill To: field?
Old computer - Win2K SP4 - Outlook 2003 using .OST file with Exhange Server 2003 New computer - WinXp Pro SP2 - Outlook 2003 using .OST file w/ same server After setting up the new computer, everything works wonderfully EXCEPT when I compose e-mails, it doesn't auto-fill the e-mail address (To:) anymore like it used to on the old computer. There are e-mail addresses that I need that, unfortunately, aren't in my contact list, but have always auto-filled before. I still have the old computer. Is there a file I can transfer that will re-populate the auto-fill feature? Autocompletion information is stored in a file with an NK2 extension. You'd need to find that file, copy it, then rename it to match the name of the NK2 file in your new installation, then use it to replace your new NK2 file.

It can be fund at www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm It's called Owtlook. You can download a free demo if you're interested.

Is there a file I can transfer that will > re-populate the auto-fill feature? Why on eart would I have to pay $52 so that the NK2 files can be opened so I can use the autocomplete within outlook. This is absorb. I just paid $300 to upgrade last fall to office 2007 and now you're recommending me going to another website and download that has an additional fee? I must be misunderstanding you..... deb > Also, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I still have the old computer. Is there a file I can transfer that will > > re-populate the auto-fill feature? Of course. You are completely misunderstanding. You can easily transfer your autocompletion cache if you want to. Method has been posted here many times and is documented by the people who wrote this software that allows more advanced editing and recovery of NK2 data. If you consider your NK2 an actual data source of value, plan to back it up frequently. It will become corrupt very easily and should not be relied upon as a data source.
